Manage Authentication Servers and Authentication Server Groups You can set up internal and external authentication servers and server groups that the wireless controller can use for authentication. Authentication Server Concepts You can specify three types of authentication servers: internal, external RADIUS, and external LDAP: • Internal authentication server. The wireless controller handles authentication. If you use this setting, set up WiFi clients on the User Management page (see Manage Users, Accounts, and Passwords on page 236.) • External RADIUS server. You can define a basic external RADIUS server that you would typically use in the profiles of a basic profile group of a small-scale network. You must specify its configuration on the basic Authentication Server page (see Configure Basic Authentication Server Settings on page 142) so that you can select this authentication Manage Security Profiles and Profile Groups 140
